This machine also uses 19 volts from an external PSU. Laptop power converters are available to step-up from 12 volts, so it could be possible to run this arrangement from a leisure battery and a photo-voltaic solar panel array. I would suggest that a voltage monitor inform the ITX of the battery and panel state, when used in this way. ☻
To save on an extra PSU, the ethernet switch on top runs off 12 volts taken from a spare floppy connector inside the cabinet.
This unit is now a Tranquil PC T2-WHS-A3G, with D945GCLF2 main board inside a WB2-076-300 Dataracks Elite 404 Wallbox that I got from Netshop
I used the Intel Integrator assistant to restore the original Intel factory settings, startup logo, and PXE capability to the unit.
